Economic & Population Growth (2024–2025 Update)

The surrounding municipal region continues to strengthen its position as one of Queensland’s fastest-growing economic centres.

Gross Regional Product (2024): Surpassed $15 billion

Recent Annual Growth: Continued multi-year expansion outperforming broader state averages

Registered Local Businesses: 13,000+

Ongoing Business Formation: Strong quarterly net growth

Local Jobs (2024): 95,000+

Annual Job Growth: 5%+ increase

The largest employment sector remains Health Care and Social Assistance, supported by hospital expansion and rising service demand. Other key industries include construction, defence-related employment, logistics, retail trade, education and government services.

Current Population (2025): ~265,000+ residents

Recent Annual Growth: Approximately 3–3.5%

New Residents Added Annually: 8,000–9,000+

Long-term projections indicate the region’s population is expected to exceed 530,000 residents over the next two decades — effectively doubling housing demand over time.

This combination of economic expansion, job creation and sustained migration underpins ongoing rental pressure and long-term housing demand.

Infrastructure Pipeline

Significant infrastructure investment continues across the broader corridor:

Major CBD revitalisation and commercial redevelopment
Additional river crossing improving transport efficiency
Inland freight rail tunnel enhancing logistics capacity
Hospital and healthcare expansions
Defence precinct investment and capability upgrades
Highway and motorway network upgrades
Expanding retail and employment precincts
New master-planned residential communities

Large-scale public and private capital investment is supporting employment growth, improved connectivity and long-term residential demand..

Olympic Impact – South East Queensland 2032

The upcoming 2032 Olympic Games are expected to accelerate infrastructure delivery and economic activity across the region.

Historically, host regions experience:

Accelerated transport upgrades
Construction employment growth
Population inflows
Strengthened rental demand
Long-term connectivity improvements

Being positioned within commuting distance of major metropolitan employment centres places this corridor in a favourable position to benefit from the broader investment cycle leading into and beyond 2032.

Market Highlights

Dual income under a single title
High rental appeal in a commuter suburb
Positioned within a major growth municipality
Tight rental conditions supporting occupancy stability
Increasing demand for dual-key housing
Modern construction reducing maintenance exposure
SMSF suitable structure
Proximity to defence, healthcare and education employment hubs
Exposure to long-term population expansion

Final Word

Dual-occupancy opportunities within established high-growth corridors are becoming increasingly limited — particularly those with approved dual-key configurations in emerging estates.

Positioned within one of South East Queensland’s strongest-performing municipal regions, this property offers exposure to sustained economic growth, accelerating population expansion and long-term infrastructure investment.

With two income streams, strong rental fundamentals and powerful regional growth drivers, this investment presents both immediate yield potential and long-term capital growth opportunity within a tightly held expansion corridor.
